We are experiencing Florence remnants and just normal cold fronts. Had to pull the slides in 2 nights in a row due to winds that were blowing the toppers. Had rain too but the wind was the main concern. I went around town even though it was cloudy and cool as there is so much to see that we didn’t yesterday.
Had a great tour of the 1832 Jail and the 1840 Courthouse. The jail is built of NB granite with 4 ft walls. They tried to modernize it by putting plaster on the granite but that actually made it colder as granite conducts heat. This...

We drove around St. Andrews and saw the blockhouse from the war of 1812 and looked to St. Croix Island where the French spent their first winter in 1604 before settling on Port Royal. We checked out the town, old storefronts are preserved from the late 1700’s and early 1800’s. Lots of nice shops. This town was founded in 1783 by British Loyalists who fled the US after the Revolutionary war. There is a cemetery for loyalists only and the town is laid out in a grid as was the standard for British towns.
It was a cold and overcast day and we...

The Digby area is very scenic and would be fun to stay near but finding a good RV park there was problematic. We took the ferry from Digby to St. John - a 2 hour 15 minute ride. It was somewhat windy and the ferry rocked for the first part of the trip. It was cold and so I didn’t get any photos on departure and there was no time to take one at arrival. This was a much larger ferry than the one from PEI, it had very nice chairs and airplane recliners with a movie as well as a business center with computers and WIFI on board - it only worked...

Even paying for Verizon Travel Pass, Verizon has slowed the internet so that we cannot use it on any device. So annoying to have to call Verizon (have a hard to find number!)but we miraculously got connected! Amazing how that works!
The Roosevelt Campobello International Park is the only international park in the world. The US and Canada both support the park which was developed in the spirit of celebrating our overall cooperation. (The US/Canadian border is the longest unprotected border in the world.) With Mr. Trump’s...

Had a very interesting camp experience. There were few campers but three of us had Sprinters and two of us had identical Roadtrek Adventurous. The Japanese folks with a rig like ours were from Encino, her name was Debbie, they have collected wines for 40 years (they had 3,000 bottles of CA cult wines unlike us who have far fewer and not one cult wine!) and sent their kids to an LA private school (Buckley School). Lots in common to talk about!
We had purchased good French bread from Costco (NB bread is awful) and as we had...

Not going to Halifax for 2 days, having camp booked in Acadia National Park 9/19 and wanting to visit the Roosevelt International Park (Campobello, NB) provided some guidelines for where we would go next. Bob found what looked like a nice KOA in Sussex which is about 3 hours drive. Sussex ( dairy community) is known for its 16 covered bridges, covered to protect the wood and floors from the elements.
The GPS took us through all sorts of tiny PEI roads that wandered through rolling fields until we got to the confederation...

Grand Falls was a French settlement that became a British military post in 1790. The people speak primarily French and all of the signs are in French/English. It is the only town in the Atlantic Provinces with an official town in both languages Grand-Sault.
We didn’t go out of our way to see the falls (the largest east of Niagara) as Hwy 108 was very close to camp. Hwy 108 is almost 50 miles shorter than traveling on Hwy 11 which is a major route. (We are driving 225 miles and want to get to Shediac, Lobster Capital of...

Rained overnight and have had very dense fog and rain all day. This will be the last of our agritourism days as we will be leaving Bas-Saint-Laurent.
In Pocatiere we had hoped to shop at Fromagerie Le Mouton Blanc where we found wonderful goat cheese 5 years ago. We somehow missed it but did find Boucherie Rossignol which is an artisan butcher and smokehouse. The staff could not have been more helpful although spoke no English. Somehow my French was sufficient. We bought some sausage, duck confit and duck pate. They did...

Today we drove to see the Hopewell Cape and the famous flower pot rocks. The tide goes out for about 3 hours so that you can walk on the ocean floor, then it comes in and will be up to 30’ where we were walking. We got there about an hour after low tide and were able to walk around near the beach. We walked down and then took the shuttle back up as it is a steep descent and then many steps to get to the beach. They had a sprinkler area for people to wash their feet and we saw dogs being washed too. We didn’t get into the muddy areas but...

We are in a back in site with utilities on the opposite side but it's level and 2 out of 3 Dish channels come in. This is a very full campground, as it's Labor Day weekend. The spot next to us may have been a pull through but it's OK and location is good for getting around. We have great weather but it was cloudy on the drive from Campbellton.
We drove to Fort Beausejour-Fort Cumberland that is at the mouth of the Bay of Fundy and was constructed by the French in 1751. The fort fell to the British in 1755 and was renamed. In 1776 an attack...

The Battle of Restigouche was the last battle to decide France’s fate in North America. This fort interpretive center includes remains of the Frigate Machault that was sunk in this harbor. This frigate had 32 guns and was 123’ x 33’. The battle took place on 7/8/1760 and this is only one of 3 1700’s French frigates to be recovered in the world. It carried 250 Crew and soldiers on board. Council room and mid level deck are reconstructed in the museum and the outline of the ship is visible on the grounds. The museum includes a recovered...

What a difference. We had a fairly easy drive on Hwy 132 - curves, rough road, no more than 7% grades but overall a good drive. This RV park is new and just great - on the river, level spot, Dish comes in although 129 is problematic. We are looking at the weather to see if staying 2 nights is a good idea. There is an Indian reservation just over the bridge in Quebec and that is a good place to buy beer, fewer taxes. I have not bought any beer yet in Canada but the price in the small grocery in Perce was $11 for 6 bottles. This is the RV...
